The 10 Crazy-Luxurious Dive Watches

Dive watches are made for diving, and although they come with different depth ratings, a serious dive watch must be able to withstand 20 atm of pressure, which equals 200 meters below the surface. As many watch lovers already know, most dive watches don’t get much aquatic action. OK, sometimes they’re on the owner’s wrist while he takes a morning shower or they get wet during an unexpected rainstorm. However, most dive watches are used only for “desk diving.”

Although most on the market spend their time behind a desk on their owner’s wrist, there’s a whole other league of dive watches that don't. This category gets much closer to the sea, but not close enough to get wet. This is the type of dive watch that will only get to see the ocean from a terrace in the Monaco harbor or from the deck of a sailing 150-foot yacht.

The type of dive watch we’re talking about features tourbillons, minute repeaters or both. Check out our roundup of the best dive watches for men.
